I recently got a #Sailor #Hokoro dip pen, and much to my chagrin have found that several of my #FountainPen inks do not work well in it. It's almost like the ink refuses to be picked up by the nib/feed.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a solution?

Edit: the paper also seems to be a factor

do you have a nib with or without reservoir? It works better with reservoir so I put them on all the nibs. You do have to keep it dipped in the ink for a few seconds for the reservoir to fill up, which is something that’s not necessarily intuitive.

@paradoxmo Ohhhhhh... I do have a reservoir. I shall have to try keeping it submerged a moment.

@StarSloth I'm giving them a second longer go with a bit more soap. I've also picked up a few other tips. We'll see of those make a difference.
